CALIFORNIA DRIVERS TEST MADE EASY has been in publication 27 years. This is the 2008 Edition and includes all the new traffic laws passed in recent years. It will be current for several years. It has helped thousands make 100% on their California Class C Orginal and Renewal license. It is helpful to those applying for a Minor's Permit, a commerical license or a motorcycle license. Those called in for reexamination by DMV's Driver Safety Unit should study it carefully. They are much more likely to retain their driver license if they make a high score on their written and driving tests. It will fully prepare you for Test Day at DMV, tell you what to bring, what to do and what NOT to do, what to say and what Not to say in order to get along with the examiner. Its seven multiple-choice type tests will prep you for any of DMV's 10 different written tests, and its driving tips will help you drive like a pro on your behind the wheel test. You'll learn how to back up straight, parallel park, do a 3-point turn, park on hills, and make proper right and left turns. It'll show you how to make a safe, legal stop; which is absolutely crucial to passing a behind the wheel test. A vision chart is included to help you determine if you can pass DMV's vision test. It's all here for you, the secrets to staying in the drivers seat for the the next five or ten years, or longer.

• The FERRARI P4/5 was publicly revealed on August 18, 2006 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and shown again at the Paris Motor Show in late September.

• Specifications

• The Ferrari P4/5 can accelerate from 0-100 kilometres per hour (0-62 mph) in 3.0 seconds (0.5 seconds quicker than the Enzo). It has a top speed of 233 mph (375 km/h). The car has a frontal area of 1.906 square metres (20.52 sq ft), but the sharp nose and smooth curves mean it has a drag coefficient of only 0.34.

• Upon seeing P 4/5 Luca di Montezemolo felt that the car deserved to be officially badged as a Ferrari and along with Andrea Pininfarina and James Glickenhaus agreed that its official name would be "Ferrari P 4/5 by Pininfarina". Ted West wrote an article in Car and Driver about how this came to be "The Beast of Turin".

• On September 2009, Glickenhaus announced his intention to race a new version of the P4/5 in the 2010 24 Hours Nurburgring. The car, called the P4/5 Competizione, would not be a conversion of his road car but instead an entirely new car with a Ferrari chassis, VIN number and drivetrain. On May 2010 however, it was revealed that the Competizione would in fact be raced in 2011, based on a 430 Scuderia. It would be built to FIA GT2 standards and raced by Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus in an Experimental Class under the direction of Paolo Garella, former Head of Special Projects at Pininfarina.

• ChassisMuch of the suspension was unchanged from the original Enzo, with the same double wishbone suspension at the front and rear, and the same Brembo carbon-ceramic anti-lock disc brakes with diameter of 340 millimetres (13.4 in) at the front and rear.[1] The aluminium alloy wheels are 510 millimetres (20 in) in diameter, the front tyres have codes of ZR 255/35 and the rear, ZR 335/30.

• ExteriorThe exterior of the car is made entirely of carbon fibre reinforced plastic and is similar in shape to the Ferrari 330 P4 as Glickenhaus requested, however it has been called a "rolling history of Ferrari-racing-DNA" sharing elements from several historic Ferrari vehicles, not just the 330 P4. The rear window is similar to that of the Ferrari 512S, the side vents are similar to the Ferrari 330 P3 and the nose is similar to that of the Ferrari 333 SP which improves cooling and the car's frontal crash safety. The butterfly doors (similar to those of the McLaren F1) are designed such that even at 160 mph (260 km/h) there is no wind noise. The improved aerodynamics have proven themselves, giving the car greater downforce at the same time as less drag than the Enzo also making the car more stable than the Enzo at high speeds.

• PowertrainThe P4/5 has the same engine as the Enzo Ferrari it was built on, a 65° Dino F140 V12. The 12 cylinders have a total capacity of 5998 cubic centimetres, each with 4 valves. The redline rpm at 8200 and the torque of 485 lb·ft (658 N·m) at 5500 rpm are both the same as the Enzo, but it produces marginally more power with 660 brake horsepower (492 kW) at 7800 rpm. The P4/5 uses the 6 speed semi-automatic transmission of the Enzo with black shifting paddles behind the wheel. It has two directional indicator buttons, one mounted on each side of the steering wheel.

• The Ferrari P4/5 (officially known as the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina)is a one-off sports car made by Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari but redesigned by Pininfarina for film director and stock exchange magnate James Glickenhaus. The car was an Enzo Ferrari but the owner James Glickenhaus preferred the styling of Ferrari's 1960s race cars, the P Series. The project cost Glickenhaus US$ 4 million and was officially presented to the public in August 2006 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but in July 2006 Glickenhaus allowed several websites to publish images of the clay model.

• DevelopmentOn March 2005 James Glickenhaus, stock exchange magnate and known car collector, was approached by Pininfarina who asked if he was interested in commissioning a one-off car. Andrea Pininfarina, grandson of the company’s founder later said "The Ferrari 612 Kappa and this P4/5 are the first. But we want to grow this business." indicating that Pininfarina is interested in producing other unique cars. Glickenhaus replied that he would like a modern Ferrari P, and in June of that year he signed a contract with Pininfarina to produce the car including the price, approximately US$4 million though in an interview he said "I feel they gave me more than I expected". Glickenhaus purchased the last unsold Enzo Ferrari and upon receipt of the car he took it to Pininfarina to be redesigned similar to his 1967 Ferrari 330 P 3/4 chassis 0846 which he also delivered to Pininfarina. Pininfarina's styling team leader, Ken Okuyama said that "Pininfarina wanted to stay

Mercedes Wheel Studs

(Wheel stud) Wheel studs are the bolts that the wheel of an automobile rest on. Lug nuts are fastened to the wheel stud to secure the wheel. Wheel studs can be either factory equipment or aftermarket add-ons. They are semi-permanently mounted directly to the vehicle brake drum or disk hub.

Bolts used to attach the wheel to an axle. Generally these studs have round heads with a knurl or fine spline immediately below the head that is the same width as the thickness of the axle face.

Mercedes was a brand of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG which began to develop in 1900, after the death of its co-founder, Gottlieb Daimler.

The Mercedes-Euklid is a German-invented calculator from the early twentieth century. It was built in Thuringia, Germany in 1905. The first manual mechanical models utilized a proportional-lever design invented by Christel Hamann in 1903.

RAD uses only top quality steel from certified steel mills for all lug bolts, lug nut and wheel locks. All lug bolts, lug nuts and wheel locks are COLD FORGED and are tempered to strength class 10.9 or 10.

Irish Driver Trainer - Galway.

Until you notice the 'train' of Mercedes Minibuses to the rear of the subject, the picture could have been taken years ago. The shot was actually taken circa 2002, the bus must have been one of the oldest surviving in the Bus Eireann fleet. I suspect that it was something of a garage 'pet', because it was well past it's sell by date even for a Driver Trainer. Without wishing to seem derisory, it's in remarkable condition for an Irish bus, with straight panelwork, shiny paint, wheeldiscs and that lovely Leyland Leopard badge. Sticking my neck out a bit because I'm not too well up on them, I'd say it's an L1 Leopard (eight stud wheels), and a CIE C class. I'm happy to be told otherwise, and willing to learn! The advertizing boards above the cove panels were something peculiarly Irish too.

Ed suggested that I build a Porsche 911 Targa. I agree that it would fit better with the Mercedes, but I do prefer the coupe. In order to give the Porsche the proper 'seventies look, we decided it should be orange.
